Joan I don't know about you, Ralph, on this. You sell kayaks or want to anyway. That is what most venues that offer reviews try to avoid. I am sure you are convinced that you are objective but... Now, some people who make and sell kayaks may be above reproach such as Matt Broze who has been at it a long time and well established for honesty and shooting straight; but I bet even he would hesitate to do reviews except privately or stick to real objective stuff like what he has done with hundreds of boats he has measured against objective criteria such as length etc or which he measures for sprint speed on a standard course he has set out long ago. You are hungry to make an impact and it sometimes shows in your posts. Anyway that is my opinion and observation. ralph diaz *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
